Happy Easter weekend if you celebrate that – and otherwise happy weekend 😊. This week I worked on: Shimmer Sky Quilts: I got this pair of quilts back from the longarm quilter and they are ready for binding. I had Matt quilt them with similar but not 100% matching swirling star patterns. I’ll share more…

Back from visiting my folks on the east coast. A great trip but also a LONG commute back here to New Mexico. (I am a morning person but 6 a.m. flights are EARLY!) I’ve got a finish and a few other things I worked on this week to share. First up, I finished my Faded…

This week was mostly 2 steps forward, 1 (or more steps) back for crafty things. Let’s get into it. Day 15 of The 100 Days Project: Here are my hexistars. Delighted that I’ve been able to keep up with these. I think 125 or so will make a nice-sized table runner so I may do…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Graerup Slipover: I finished up the back on this vest, which actually went more quickly than I thought it would. Next up is the front and since there’s no sleeves for this, it’ll just be the arm opening and neckline ribbing to do. Granny Chevron Blanket: I’ve finished…

Back from our vacation on the absolutely FROZEN east coast of the US…..Brrr. Glad I took my heaviest coat with a hood and my extra warm mittens and hat. We had a chance to visit with family before my older nephew leaves for a semester abroad and before my younger nephew makes some final decisions…

I finished the small throw/kid quilt I started last weekend. This is the first quilt I did entirely by machine – the piecing, the quilting and the binding. I did a very simple square outline for the quilting, and I will admit that while attaching the binding by machine is quicker than hand-sewing it on,…

Let’s start off this week with a finish, shall we? This is the Mushroom Hat, designed by Lotta Lothgren. I believe it may be available as a standalone pattern now but I have the entire pattern collection, Observations, that it appears in. I used 2 colors of DK-weight merino for mine. I doubled the length…

I don’t have much to show this week. A video shoot for work + several hundred miles of driving meant it wasn’t a great week for crafting. Here are the few bits and bobs I did accomplish. Book Club Cardigan: I finished the right front and picked up stitches for the left shoulder seam so…

This wound up being the week where I finished a few smaller things and they also were what took up most of my crafting time, so this post will serve double-duty as my weekly update and as a quick FO post. Norrland Hat: This project was my main focus and despite being fussy to work,…

I hope everyone had a nice couple of weeks over the holidays and enjoyed some time off work, visiting family, or just staycationing, like we did. Here’s what I worked on this week: Jane Austen Block of the Month prep: I really wanted to get the 2 Shimmer Sky quilt tops done and sent off…
